1. Learning Targets
LT 1: I can define physics and its relationship to natural science.
LT 2: I can explain the differences between a hypothesis, theory, law, model and fact.
LT 3: I can explain the difference between science and technology, and how each helps the other develop.
LT 4: I can explain SI base and derived units and why they are useful in science.

Define each term
Make a list of words that best describe each
Write a brief statement reflecting the purpose of each

5. Provide a brief definition of each term
Fact
Theory
Law
Model
Hypothesis

6. Fact: something that is observed to be real
Scientific Theory: A explanation of an occurrence or phenomenon in the natural world.
Supported by evidence
Accepted as valid
Accurate at predicting and testing
Scientific Laws: Factual observations expressing a fundamental principle of science.

7. Model: A representation of an object or event that can be studied so that the real object or event can be understood.
Hypothesis: a possible answer to a question; an educated guess that has not been tested.

8. Measurements
Use the mass balances and meter sticks to take a series of measurements.
Use your composition book to collect data.
